BOOK V.
The exploits of Diomed, who, though wounded by Pandarus, continues fighting--He kills Pandarus and wounds AEneas--Venus rescues AEneas, but being wounded by Diomed, commits him to the care of Apollo and goes to Olympus, where she is tended by her mother Dione--Mars encourages the Trojans, and AEneas returns to the fight cured of his wound--Minerva and Juno help the Achaeans, and by the advice of the former Diomed wounds Mars, who returns to Olympus to get cured.
Then Pallas Minerva put valour into the heart of Diomed, son of Tydeus, that he might excel all the other Argives, and cover himself with glory.

She made a stream of fire flare from his shield and helmet like the star that shines most brilliantly in summer after its bath in the waters of Oceanus--even such a fire did she kindle upon his head and shoulders as she bade him speed into the thickest hurly-burly of the fight.
Now there was a certain rich and honourable man among the Trojans, priest of Vulcan, and his name was Dares.

He had two sons, Phegeus and Idaeus, both of them skilled in all the arts of war.

These two came forward from the main body of Trojans, and set upon Diomed, he being on foot, while they fought from their chariot.

When they were close up to one another, Phegeus took aim first, but his spear went over Diomed's left shoulder without hitting him.
